What Is Dental Deep Cleaning?

Dental deep cleaning is a thorough treatment designed to reach the hidden areas beneath your gum line, where plaque and tartar tend to accumulate. Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues.

Our deep cleaning procedure involves scaling and root planing to carefully remove hardened plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums, helping to restore a healthier, cleaner mouth.

Risk Factors For Needing A Deep Cleaning

  • Gum disease: If you have gingivitis or periodontitis, deep cleaning can remove plaque and tartar from under the gumline
  • Smoking: Smoking can contribute to plaque buildup and a higher likelihood of gum disease
  • Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing or flossing regularly can lead to tartar accumulation, making deep cleaning necessary
  • Health conditions: Conditions like diabetes can increase your susceptibility to gum disease
  • Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect the health of your gums and lead to gingivitis

 

If you’re experiencing any of these, consult our trusted Reidsville dentists to evaluate the health of your gums and teeth.

Symptoms Indicating You May Need A Deep Cleaning

  • Bleeding gums: Gums bleed when brushing or flossing can be an early sign of gum disease
  • Bad breath: Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, even after brushing, can indicate infection or bacteria buildup
  • Receding gums: If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, it may be a sign of gum disease that requires deep cleaning
  • Loose teeth: Loose teeth can suggest an advanced stage of gum disease, which deep cleaning can help manage
  • Swollen or inflamed gums: Gums that appear swollen or inflamed are often signs of bacterial buildup that needs to be addressed
